Completely independent of tariffs, we need to have a frank conversation about why so many seniors are financially dependent on the stock market, especially when fixed-interest instruments are have been offering attractive yields. This is the kind of investment advice that was common in my 20s:

📊 ANALYSIS: Is there a last minute 🔴 red surge? 🗳️

One of the big questions today: have Republicans regained momentum heading into Election Day? We can’t answer that definitively for Wisconsin, but early Florida numbers offer some insight.

So far, here’s how it looks:

✅ Early voting in FL's CD-1 and CD-6 broke down to: 🔴 51.0% Republican
🔵 34.8% Democrat
➡️ R advantage: +16.2%

📅 In the 2024 cycle, Election Day votes have tended to lean about 6% redder than early votes.

🔴 As of this morning, Election Day voting is breaking: 🔴 57.79% Republican
🔵 26.19% Democrat
➡️ R advantage: +31.6%, or 15.4% redder than early vote

⚠️ Caveats: It’s still early in the day, special elections don’t draw many independents, and we expect that R+31.6% margin to narrow as more ballots come in.

🧮 Turnout is key: In 2024, Election Day made up about 22% of the Florida vote. Right now, there are 15,605 Election Day votes, which is 7.6% of early vote totals.

For GOP momentum to look real, that number would need to hit ~53,646.

Bottom line:
We may or may not be seeing late Republican momentum—but we definitely aren’t seeing a Democratic one. TL;DR: Keep watching the total Election Day votes on the live Florida map. If we exceed ~53,646 Election Day votes, we may be seeing a last minute momentum for Republicans. datarepublican.com/florida/

🔥 UPDATE: 🔥

So, two days ago, the doxxing website DOGEQUEST, primed by an article by the @sltrib, slapped my husband’s distillery front and center in an attempt to intimidate and silence me.

To be honest, it did get me down.

And … congratulations, they might have achieved their goal. We might just have to shutter the whole operation…

… because my husband just now notified me our entire inventory got nearly cleared out in 48 hours flat. His multi-year productions, all of which he personally oversaw and toiled over. All bought out in the blink of an eye.

Terrorists lose this round.

And I have a great feeling that this is going to similarly backfire against @Tesla . There is a miraculous element to this, IMHO.

We had been trying many months to sell our product online with little success.

It is not a coincidence of the Lord that we finally went online, just one day after he got doxxed in the worst way possible by a viral website.

I pray that every patriot takes encouragement from this.

💎 DUPLICATE SMALL DOLLAR DONATIONS IN KANSAS LOCAL RACES

Following the discovery of @matt_vanswol’s report on fraudulent donations in Kansas, I analyzed four local candidates’ filings. I uncovered 13 donors who each made identical donations to the same candidate on the same date—10 of these donors were from out of state. These same contributors also appeared across most of the nine candidates that Mr. Van Swol donated to, but I focused on these four reports.

Here are the names I found which appeared across all 4 reports. All dates and amounts were same:

🔷 Benjamin k Hand, 10/10/20, $2.00/$1.00, CA
🔷 Chia Yuan Hung, 10/10/20, $1.00, NY
🔷 Dawn Hoffman, 10/10/20, $1.00, FL
🔷 Elaina Rose, 10/10/20, $10.00, WA
🔷 Jennifer Forbes, 10/10/20, $2.00, KS
🔷 Kathleen Newman, 08/04/20, $32.00, KS
🔷 Margaret Pisciotta, 09/18/20, $4.00, KS
🔷 Martha Teitelbaum, 10/10/20, $1.00, MD
🔷 Matthew Van Swol, 09/01/20, $2.00, NC
🔷 Rena Korb, 10/10/20, $1.00, CA
🔷 Ryan Ward, 10/10/20, $1.00, CA
🔷 Tamir Avital, 10/10/20, $4.00, CA
🔷 Teresa Lewis-Hutson, 09/02/20, $1.00, MO

Receipts follow.

🧵 THREAD: Unmasking Swatting Patterns 🧵

Three additional MAGA X influencers got swatted today: @Beard_Vet , @matt_vanswol , @GrageDustin .

I used Grok to compile the following list of swatting victims and then ran it through both Grok and OpenAI’s deep research tools to find common patterns.

I also used AI to analyze who wasn’t swatted, to identify differentiating factors. Finally, I attempt to identify the next high priority targets. Thread follows. 👇 @Beard_Vet @matt_vanswol @GrageDustin The top AI identifying factor among swatted victims: association with @elonmusk , and/or prominence in alt-media such as InfoWars or War Room.

Documenting receipts (sorry, this will be slow):

Hello Mr. Ludd,

The question is not whether such awards exist—I have already acknowledged that they do. The issue at hand is not a matter of finding a counter-example and declaring the metric validated. The real question is which heuristic is more accurate: relying on "current award value" or assuming that contractors typically spend up to their maximum authority.

The scale of relevant awards is vast—tens of thousands exceed $1 million and collectively amount to trillions. In contrast, you have cited only a few dozen exceptions. You are not providing not a refutation; you prove to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how heuristic correctness is determined.

Historically and consistently, contractors spend to their maximum authority. Given this reality, the most accurate heuristic for estimating savings is to use potential award value.

I trust this clarifies the point. In my initial run, which processed the first 60,000 rows, I did not find these awards—my hard drive overheated long before I could complete a full pass through the database. In a later run, which I referenced in another post, I did identify two such awards. That discrepancy is a matter of sampling size, not an issue with the query itself.

I’ll now attempt a full run, which should capture the awards you found.

🧵 (Re-posting after it was accidentally made exclusive)

Doing a thought-of-consciousness thread here. First up, Troublemakers. They are small and grassroots, with no EIN that I could link to them yet. They were featured in a news article wherein they asked Amazon to stop buying fracked gas from GTN XPress - which seems to be a highly specific request.

A name I found was Valerie Costa. Valerie Costa of Troublemakers has an article on Medium. medium.com/@valeriecosta/…

🧵 THREAD: Ahead of @DOGE_GSA 's 65 billion re-negotiation with the big contracting companies, I took a quick look at their awards.

First up: Ernst & Young. Uncle Sam cut them a $9 million check for—wait for it—a "Supply Chain Funds Reimbursement Administrator."

Forget STEM, folks—federal consulting is the real money printer! 🤑

Award: CONT_AWD_273FCC24F0052_2700_47QRAD19DU201_4732 @DOGE_GSA 🚨 HUD also gave Ernst & Young $838,195 to “improve its strategic approach” for... its own initiatives.

Translation: Nearly a million bucks to shuffle paperwork, check some boxes, and make sure they comply with policies they wrote themselves.

2025 SOTU LIVE COMMENTARY THREAD -

Disclaimer: Terrible at this kind of thing, you're probably way better off following someone else. Watching Fox News now. Lots of JD Vance. He is a once-ina-generation talent and hopefully he can be no. 48.

🧵 I was curious about this coordination, so I dived into this with AI and came up with a lot of names. Thread follows:

First off, the Senate Democratic Caucus operates a Senate Democratic Media Center (SDMC), which “serves as a one-stop-shop for Democratic offices looking for high-level digital assets,” providing video editors, studios, and digital strategists for coordinated content.

AI speculates that content was centrally developed – most likely under the direction of Senate Democratic leadership’s communications arm – and then executed by the senators’ communications staff in coordination.

But the rabbit hole doesn't end here. Hang on... AI speculates one specific person is leading this: Justin Goodman, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's former communications director.

And indeed, if you go to his website, his biography brags about him as “the chief spokesman for every Senate battle in recent memory.”

The International Republican Institute's website is down, supposedly to "mitigate expenses." But maintaining a mostly static site isn’t expensive. Does replacing a few biographies with an outage banner actually save money? Or is there another reason they pulled the plug?

@IRIglobal any comments? They seem awfully defensive here. Rich, particularly since they financed mass migration NGOs:

I received some interesting info from a credible source, as follows. @DOGE_TREAS may want to know if they don't already:

One of the lasting impacts of the PATRIOT Act is its requirement for financial institutions to report all transactions over $3,000 to the U.S. Treasury—a threshold that has never been adjusted for inflation. This data-sharing framework, originally intended to track illicit financial activity, also allows financial institutions to share transaction insights with each other under absolute legal immunity.

In practice, this means that major financial institutions effectively operate their own version of FinCEN internally, gaining a comprehensive, real-time view of global money movements. While regulatory safeguards exist to ensure this data is used strictly for financial crime enforcement, it's highly likely that the Treasury’s vast database holds key records on NGO funding flows.

Yet, there’s a growing concern that Treasury itself isn’t actively monitoring this data—outsourcing the heavy lifting to financial institutions instead. Whether due to oversight or intent, this leaves critical financial crime data untouched at the federal level.

Could this be why some are so resistant to @DOGE's involvement in Treasury systems? It’s less about routine transactions and more about preventing independent analysis of a financial intelligence goldmine. @DOGE_TREAS Source concludes: "Maybe this is why everyone is so keen to keep DOGE out of the Treasury systems. It isn’t about Social Security checks, it is more about people rooting through the FinCEN database."

📞 CALL SENATOR COTTON’S OFFICE NOW—DON’T WAIT. 🚨 SPREAD THIS.

Senator Cotton's office: (479) 751-0879
Senator Cotton's fax: (479) 464-0648

This is real. @JDVance and @PeteHegseth publicly backing @ElbridgeColby on X means one thing: his nomination is under attack. The resistance in the Senate is led by @SenTomCotton—and it’s not about qualifications, it’s about power.

Why? Because Colby rejects the failed ideology of endless wars. He’s a foreign policy realist who threatens the status quo. That’s why the establishment is fighting so hard to stop him.

🔎 Who is Tom Cotton really working for?
He’s a Director at the International Republican Institute (IRI)—one of Washington’s elite NGOs. While IRI brands itself Republican, it’s part of the same D.C. machine that opposes America First policies.
💰 Follow the money:
IRI raked in $130,689,289 last year—mostly taxpayer cash, funneled through USAID. While Cotton isn’t paid, the organization spends $12,173,741 on travel and $14,232,108 on pensions and perks. Meanwhile, it funds refugee resettlement and backs globalist priorities.

🚨 READ THIS TWICE:
If you're with IRI, you're with the global elite—not the American people. The only way to prove otherwise? Resign.
🔥 Don’t let them win. Call Tom Cotton’s office NOW.


@JDVance @PeteHegseth @ElbridgeColby Please do this right now. This is not a drill.

@PeteHegseth needs the intellectual weight of @ElbridgeColby in order to create a new direction for United States foreign policy.

Hello Mr. Eisen,

You have a long history with NGOs—Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute, a tenure at the Anti-Defamation League, and most notably, founding the States United Democracy Center (EIN 861704152).

Your organization boasts an impressive roster:

🔵 Janet Napolitano (Director): Former Governor of Arizona
🔴 Tom Ridge (Director): First Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
🔴 Christine Todd Whitman (Co-Chair): Former Republican Governor of New Jersey and Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under President George W. Bush.
🔴 Michael Steele (Director): Former RNC chair
🔴 Michael Chertoff (Director): Former United States Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush
🔵 Joanna Lydgate (President): Former Chief Deputy Attorney General of Massachusetts under a Democratic administration.
🔴 Tom Coleman (Director): Former House Representative from Missouri
🔴 Donald Ayer (Director): Former Deputy Attorney General under President George H.W. Bush

However, its website states absolutely nothing of what they do except a bunch of vaguities about defending democracy and a few papers.

The paid officers are getting handsomely paid:

⚪ Joanna Lydgate (President) ($382,382)
⚪ Jenn Fogel-Bublick (Chief Operating Officer) ($282,532)
⚪ Christine Sun (Legal Director) ($246,932)
⚪ Thania Sanchez (Research Director) ($215,227)
⚪ Gillian Feiner (Senior Counsel) ($211,443)
⚪ Elizabeth Ulmer (Svp, Communications) ($224,448)
⚪ Dax Goldstein (Senior Counsel) ($213,245)

Almost all of the expenses go to salary, with the "Other" expenses going out to contractors.

However, its website states absolutely nothing of what they do except a bunch of vaguities about defending democracy.

So, I was wondering... what do you guys actually do?

Turns out ... you have a YouTube channel and last year, you produced a very expensive-looking Muppet show.

That's what you spend your 17 million dollars on. Muppets that have less than 200 views. That's your idea of election security. Creating animated puppet shows that nobody watches to lecture nonexistent viewers on election safety.

Oh, and they're definitely produced by you, because I went to one of the websites linked in the video and it says "State United Democracy Center" at the bottom.

Tell me, who the hell is donating you to do this? And why should we trust any of you neoconservatives with the responsibility of safeguarding "Democracy" and elections if your idea of doing so is producing puppet shows?


@NormEisen @MSNBC @CapehartJ I have helpfully uploaded one of your Muppet productions for all to see:

🧵 THREAD: THE ILLUSION OF GLOBALISM

@JDVance was correct to call out the hypocrisy of European bureacrats. Politicians constantly preach “democracy” while pushing censorship, media control, and speech restrictions.

Why? Because their version of democracy isn’t about you. It’s about them staying in power, and NGOs are a large part of that equation.

I will explain why below. 👇 👑 GLOBALISM DOESN’T EXIST—IT’S FEUDALISM 👑

Forget “nationalism vs. globalism.” That’s a distraction. The Western world operates as a feudal system, where a small ruling class—modern nobles—hoard power and fear being overthrown.

In their minds, the U.S. isn’t governed by the three branches (Legislative, Executive, Judicial). That’s just a façade. The real power structure looks very different—one where NGOs, bureaucrats, and institutional elites dictate policy from above.
